State the chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when a lead-acid battery is being re-charged or discharged

Answer»

Lead and lead DIOXIDE, the active materials on the battery's plates, react with sulfuric acid in the electrolyte to form lead SULFATE. The lead sulfate first forms in a finely divided, amorphous state and easily REVERTS to lead, lead dioxide, and sulfuric acid when the battery recharges.Explanation:example anode reaction: Pb(s) + SO42-(aq) → CATHODE reaction: PBO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + 2e - → overall reaction: Pb(s) + PbO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + 2SO42-(aq) →
